Informal, lean and pure, the Cantina del Pino 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo (closed with a glass cork) gives us a generous and authentic portrait of Piedmont's favorite red grape. This expression offers extra softness and succulence with dried cherry and cassis, followed by licorice, tar and rusted metal. The most important thing this wine has going for it is a very sharp and bright level of beautiful primary fruit. This pretty wine (with 7,800 bottles produced) is raring to go, straight out of the gate.

The 2016 Langhe Nebbiolo offers plump and juicy notes of wild berry fruit. There are also floral notes of roses and violets that add elegant contours to this fresh, simple and easy-drinking wine (closed with a glass cork). This Nebbiolo is only aged in stainless steel in order to maintain the tonic freshness of those fruity flavors.

The 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo is a terrific expression with fresh, tonic and easy-drinking appeal. You get a great taste of the Nebbiolo grape here, with no extra bells or whistles. Winemaking is simple, with just nine months in stainless steel for aging. The finish is crisp, linear and bright. Some 8,000 bottles were made.
